In 2008, FCAC hired an independent research company to conduct a public opinion survey to gain a better understanding of the needs of youth aged 18 to 29 with respect to financial education. The results of the survey pertain to young Canadians' usage of financial products and services, their purchasing and payment habits, their financial management and planning habits, their level of debt, as well as the type of courses or training they have taken related to personal finances.
